Wizard Magazine #132 (cover dated July 31, 2002) ran an article on “The 10 greatest comic book stories never told!” Beyond the primary 10, they listed another nine comic stories that went missing in action. My thanks to Florian Schwalenberg for a scan of that page. Click the image to enlarge.

Here is a close-up of the Firestorm section:

This leaves me wondering if it was simply a proposal by Johns or was he actually slated to write Firestorm vol. III. Also, I can’t help but wonder if Stuart Moore was influenced by Johns’ idea when he merged Jason and Gehenna. Hmmm… we may never know. Thanks again to Florian Schwalenberg for the scan!

Firestorm would merge with women during the Jason Rusch years. It kind of destroyed the premise that two physical bodies were merging, more or less atom for atom, into one body. It redefined Firestorm as a single host body (Rusch) and someone else relegated into the interdimensional “matrix.” Whatever. I guess if that opens up the possibilities of more mergers, then great.
